DJ Babu - Non Fiction
Featuring: Trek Life
Producer: DJ Babu
Album: 20/20 Music
Label: ABB/Beatjunkie Sound/Stones Throw/Nature Sounds
If DJ Babu and Trek Life were books… well, I’d be really confused about how a couple bundles of paper and glue had managed to record music together. But, to roll with this completely absurd hypothetical a little longer, the Dilated Peoples DJ/producer and the West Coast rhymesayer would be shelved in the Non-Fiction section—they’re simply too real to fit in anywhere else. The eighth exclusive world premiere in DJBooth and Event Electonics’ ongoing 20/20 Music series, this gritty selection finds Babu crafting a slow-rolling synth-sample beat (complete with a hook sampled from U.T.F.O.‘s classic Leader of the Pack) to back Trek’s unfettered display of lyrical aggression: “Loadin’ up rhymes and start blastin’ / I spit with a passion, so my comparison to guns is more realistic than you imagine.” The end result is a hard-hitting, gimmick-free banger sure to impress anyone with a taste for that raw ish. Those who like what they’re hearing can keep it locked for further entries in the Event 20/20 Music Series throughout October and November, as well as heading over to Event’s official site for information on their new 20/20BAS Monitor Speakers.

Babu's consistency is something that should be talked about/heralded much more. I have never heard this man make a bad beat or collaborate with a mediocre artist. This is hip hop that makes me feel good about the genre.

I'm not really feelin the production on here. I don't really like the flow too much either. I wouldn't want to hear this again, so I can't put it into rotation. It's just OK to me.

Meh. I like Trek Life and Babu. This track isn't my bag. That being said, I encourage all to check out the remainder of Trek Life's work.

Dope, I had been listening to a different version of this but was glad to see it come out fresh! Big up to Trek & Babu, two big names in the game.
